Getrag rear end issues and who has them

Yep I know that. That is a 4000 dollar change
2500 for the set up with FACTORY axles from Cleavland pull a part. Then you need a drive shaft. 1000 bucks to have dss make one. So with shipping and the drive shaft you are 4 grand in

No way. Factory rear end factory axles and a drive shaft for 4 grand and you still need to change the cradle bushings.

Old Post I get it, but the topic is worth discussing. I've been on my Getrag 226 since I got my car. Didn't have any problems until I put my 2 Step in, and started launching hard at any desired RPM..... One problem I'm having is broken driver side axles. I'm going to upgrade to DSS versions, and hopefully most of my problems will be solved. Another issue, is a loud clunking sound from the case, when I shift out of reverse and into first. I've been told that during a burnout it also makes a lot of noise. Upgrades for my setup are Polly cradle bushings, solid front pinion bushing from HHP & DSS driveshaft. Plans are to upgrade the lower trailing arms to BMR units and hope the rear suspension is done. My car is a M6 with US Gear 4.29's in the getrag, has gone a best of 11.76 @119 in VMP this year on a 125 shot.

It may not matter to you drag racers but harder bushings transmit a lot of noise to the car. At least it did on my son's 16 GT Mustang. We installed a Steeda suspension kit that included harder bushings and you could hear a lot of noise afterwards when no noise was audible before.
